Eagles: Hell Freezes Over
The Southern California band finally regroups for an album, a tour, and this televised special. Laid-back but sharp and even stirring during an extensive acoustic set, the guys quickly get past the nostalgia element and sound truly viable. They even make it look easy: the sight of Joe Walsh wearing glasses and sitting in perfect repose as he effortlessly colors old hits like "Tequila Sunrise" and "Learn to Be Still" may make you wonder why you ever stashed that guitar in the attic. The band eventually gets off their stools and rocks out on "Hotel California" and other Eagles standards.
